How many channels do you get with this package? I pay $130 and do not get DVR, but do have their fastest internet speed and something like 500 channels. 2 year contract.

Everything they have, with the exception of the pay channels such as HBO and the like. However, I only care about the ones in the 200 range, as that is where the HD is.

I have earthlink high speed cable internet (It is provided through Time Warner Cable). Not sure if is still an option but when I moved here in 2005 you had your choice of RoadRunner or Earthlink provided through time warner. A little known secret is that if you call Earthlink directly to sign up for the service you save a few bucks on the monthly fee. Time Warner still comes out to set up the connection and you are still billed by Time Warner but by calling Earthlink Directly my monthly internet fee is only $41.95.

I also have the cheapest cable package through time warner and only pay $12.25 a month for that. My total monthly cable and internet bill is $55.61 . With the basic cable you only get about 20 channels but you do get ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and PBS in High Definition. Works for me.

I have to have more channels then that and my package includes phone too. I think I'm paying about $20 more per month then most, for less service. As for television programing, 90% of the time, my television has Fox news on. Yes, I'm a brain washed Fox news junkie. Explains a lot doesn't it NRG? But I'll bet you already knew that.

I use TWC for internet - generally reliable although I've had some outtages and needed to have a modem replaced at my prior house. The price is definitely too high, and I'll be shopping around when my current promo is up this summer.

If you need speed, unfortunately TWC is the best option available in this area for internet (even being a bit pricey). Turbo does get to about 15mbps download on larger downloads (rated at 10mbps in general). It costs more than the true 30mbps service I used to be able to get from Cablevision up in NY.

I have TWC, and with the exception of price, I have no complaints... My parents are in Oxford (County, just outside 'city' limits) and the only option available to them was with Dish/DirecTV (not sure which). Unfortunately, they have many problems with outages, it is also very expensive, and it is PAINFULLY slow... those are the only two examples I have to offer, based on experience... Peace!

It's all right. Well, it is all I know.
Been with TWC since RR came to town.
